Heartfelt Creations Alumni Hop: All You Need is Love Valentine and Tag Tutorial

Hello, Friends! Welcome to the December Heartfelt Creations Alumni Hop! Now that Christmas is behind us, it’s time to focus in on Valentine’s Day. With that in mind, I created this All You Need is Love Valentine and Tag Tutorial using the new Heartfelt Love Collection.

Use the small rectangular die from Cut, Mat, Create Set 1-B to cut out the phrase from the word collage page in the collection. Mat on pink cardstock and glue to pocket to finish.

This is what your card will look like at this point.

The next step is to make the tag that fits in the pocket.

All You Need Is Love Valentine and Tag Tutorial: Making the Tag

Cut a 4″ x 6″ rectangle from pale pink cardstock. This will be your tag base.

Round the bottom corners with a corner rounder punch.

Then shape the top corners with a scallop edge punch. I use Crop-a-Dile corner punches for this.

Now, cut a 3.75″ x 5.75″ rectangle of the pale pink floral paper. Shape the top and bottom edges just as you did in the previous step. Don’t glue this to the tag base yet.

Next, use the Border Essentials Die to create a belly band for the tag. Let the ends of the border overlap so you can fold them around the back of this tag layer. This will create a neat, finished appearance.

Now, add 1/4″ Scor-Tape to the center of the belly band, again letting the ends overlap a little.

Adhere the Valentine Heart Ribbon over the Scor-tape, wrapping the loose ends around to the back to create a neat appearance.

Now you can glue this layer to the tag base.

Add a charm of your choice to the ribbon layer.

Next, punch a hole at the top and thread with 8″ of Pearl Pink Satin Ribbon.

Then, tie a string bow with the Valentine Heart Ribbon and with Silver Metallic String

Then use the oval circle and eyelet die to cut a layer from pale pink floral paper. Glue this to the deep pink floral base.

Next, back the eyelet oval with foam tabs or waste chipboard and glue to the card as seen in the photo above.

Cut and mat All You Need is Love.

Cut the same size layer from the pink word collage page and mat the same way you matted the sentiment panel.

Now glue the word collage panel to the eyelet oval, using the photo as a guide for placement.

Next, back All You Need Is Love with foam tabs or waste chipboard and glue to the card base as seen in the photo.

Then, stamp 2 of the largest butterflies from Butterfly Medley on patterned paper. Die cut with the matching die.

All You Need Is Love Valentine and Tag Tutorial: Finishing Touches

Now shape the butterfly wings with the largest stylus tip in the Flower Shaping Kit.

Glue the two butterfly bodies together, lifting the wings to add dimension.

Spray with Glimmer Mist.

Add a small rose to the center of the body.

Finally, glue in place as seen in the photo.

Next, tie a triple loop bow from Pink Pearl Satin Ribbon and hot glue to the side of the card.

Then glue all your prepared flowers in place, tucking them under the sentiment panels and between layers as well as down the side.

Finally, add a button to the top of the sentiment panel.
